A MAJOR train route through Oxfordshire will be closed this weekend.

Chiltern Railways has advised customers travelling on Sunday that due to engineering work the line between Princes Risborough and Bicester will shut all day.

As a result, there will be no through trains between London Marylebone and Bicester Village/Oxford.

Passengers travelling between Marylebone, Bicester Village, Oxford and Banbury should travel via Aylesbury Vale Parkway and get a rail replacement bus service to Bicester North or Bicester Village to continue their journey.

Chiltern said journey times may take longer than usual and the work forms part of Britain’s Railway Upgrade Plan and includes Network Rail track improvement to increase the reliability of the rail network.
